Question about anime

[blind-shot.livejournal.com]

I have a weird question.
Now even though Sands is blind and it's totally pointless of me to wonder:

Since almost all the characters here are illustrated, would they look like cartoons to a person who was not one?

And for the part more important to Sands:
Would they feel different then a flesh and blood person?

Er, no. Despite the fact that most of the characters here are from anime or manga series, they're just as fictional as Sands, so therefore, just as real as him. They'd feel like any other person would.

Though, if the mods don't agree, they can kick me. ♥

Just making sure. I've played with some people that when having a cartoon char they played them like it was a 2D person and I didn't want to assume.

[lexicon.livejournal.com]

Oh man, that would seriously weird me out, playing like that. XD;

*tempted to pick up Umjammer Lammy*

Before coming here I played with very very few cartoon chars because of that.
Well- that and also I had no idea who they were.

[boredofbinary.livejournal.com]

I think they'd feel like normal people only because they are an imitation of real people and... yeah.

[blind-shot.livejournal.com]

An 'imitation of real people'?

[boredofbinary.livejournal.com]

Animes and cartoons are telling the stories of 'real people' in that universe.

... oh whatever. Someone already said something that made better sense, and I said my first comment pretty late at night, so it made sense at the time.

[blind-shot.livejournal.com]

Heh. Maybe it's just my brain. Because below us tigerchewtoy managed to break it in half with one and a half sentences, "My icon may be an illustration, but I am flesh and blood. I'm from 1992 Long Island..."

... o_o; XD

[blind-shot.livejournal.com]

Seriously. Is there something wrong with my mind or what?

[withinfire.livejournal.com]

No, your confusion is legit. XD

[blind-shot.livejournal.com]

lol Thank Christ. I really thought it was me.

Everybody here is played as real, although there have been a few cases of Character A knowing another character as a fictional/animated creation in Character A's world.

[misas-not-here.livejournal.com]

I can't speak for everyone else, but this character looks and feels just like a real live Japanese girl. She also inexplicably speaks English as though she were born in the US, but that is the magic of dubbing.

My icon may be an illustration, but I am flesh and blood. I'm from 1992 Long Island, so I think I missed Johnny Depp's best movies and I have no idea about Sand's world.

[blind-shot.livejournal.com]

Are you ic right now?
>_> Cause that comment confused the hell out of me.

[tigerchewtoy.livejournal.com]

yes, Heather is from a Long Isand where it is still 1992. Johnny Depp is an actor to her.

[blind-shot.livejournal.com]

OK. That really threw me off.

[tigerchewtoy.livejournal.com]

ooc: the first one was in character and the second was the occ. Heather is my creation.

Heather: I'm a real person, not a cartoon. So, how do these cartoon people feel to you Mr. Sands?

Simon: I'm a real cat. I bet they feel like gummi bears and plastic wrap.

OOC

[blind-shot.livejournal.com]

You have a cat in there too, huh?
I'm new here. I thought all IC went on in the journals and stuff and this was completely ooc.

Re: OOC

[tigerchewtoy.livejournal.com]

my mistake. sometimes it's hard to tell.

[musicalcorpse.livejournal.com]

OCC: developed ESP?

[blind-shot.livejournal.com]

Pardon?

[musicalcorpse.livejournal.com]

OCC: Maybe he can just feel the difference in aura or something. Out there idea for you.

[blind-shot.livejournal.com]

Thanks but- apparently there is no difference and the cartoons are real people anyway.
I'd never want to go so far from canon anyway.
